error ora-01466 and partitions

[ oracle 8.1.7.0 entreprise - Solaris 8 (sparc) ]

Hello,
At random times, I receive a few ORA-01466 errors from my database (one or two a week)
Oradoc says : query parsed after tbl (or index) change, and execute w/old snapshot. My database is a production one, so table/index definitions are not changed and time of the server is not modified.
Some DBA says me that it could be caused by partitioning routines. I use partitioned tables, 1 partition by day, and every night, 1 partition is created and 1 is droped. But the new partition is create 10 days before beeing used, and dropped partition was used 90 days ago.
Can creation/drop of partitions create such error (even if nothin is working in partitions that are to be dropped)

Thanks for your help
